I spent the morning and early part of the afternoon re-reading last year's novel. Partly to get me in the mood and partly because I was avoiding the one thing I should be doing - writing.
I had initially planned on going to a write-in but there was nothing in my area and I didn't feel like driving an hour in either direction. I didn't want to waste the time so instead I wasted time at home. I finally decided it was now or never and I thought a change of atmosphere would do me some good so I packed up my laptop and ventured out. I also needed to get away from the leftover Halloween candy - there really is only so much of that one can eat.......
Since I wasn't headed to a specific write-in, I decided to make my own and I went to Panera. This was huge for me. Huge! Until this moment I could never just sit somewhere alone - NEVER but I was out to conquer this fear and as I sat in this little cafe I noticed that there were no less than five others doing the same thing as me. This wasn't so scary after all.....and so I began and I banged out 2,000 words, not a bad start and just 48,000 to go..................
